You ok Cob? You seem pretty slow upstairs. Go drink a cuppa

‘WA NRL deal is done’ says North Sydney Bears legend

The Cook Government insists a deal to bring an NRL club to WA hasn’t been done, despite a North Sydney Bears board member saying an agreement has been reached and the mooted coach buying property in Perth.

WA Government says no NRL deal yet but North Sydney Bears legend Billy Moore says it’s going ahead​

The Cook Government still insists a deal to bring an NRL club to WA hasn’t been done, despite a North Sydney Bears board member saying an agreement has been reached and the mooted coach buying property in Perth.
Billy Moore, a Queensland State of Origin legend who played for the Bears from 1989-99 and now sits on the board, said he believed the WA Government had reached a deal with the Australian Rugby League Commission to move the team west.
Speculation has also been fuelled by former Parramatta Eels coach Brad Arthur — tipped to become coach of the new Western Bears team — buying property in Perth.
Arthur and his wife Michelle spent $960,000 on a two-bedroom apartment in North Coogee, which they purchased in November. The property has since been rented for $850 a week.
Arthur is currently with the Leeds Rhinos in the UK Super League but is off-contract at the end of the season. He told The Daily Telegraph he was open to coming home to lead the Bears’ in Perth in 2027.
Moore told The West Australian while the deal still had to be ratified by the Rugby League Players Association and the 17 NRL clubs, “from what all parties and all media organisations on this side of Australia . . . have said to me the deal is done.”
He said it would be a merger rather than a takeover, adding: “This is live, stay, play in WA.
“This is what South Melbourne did going to Sydney, this is the Fitzroy Lions going to Brisbane.
“This is an opportunity for old and new to merge together to form a partnership, and the franchise will be based in Perth.”
Moore said he expected the deal would be a “carbon copy” of Tasmania’s launch into the AFL where a deal was struck between the league and the Tasmanian Government. There is also a new stadium being built in Hobart.
The deal for the Bears is reportedly worth at least $50 million — up from the Government’s first offer of $35m. But confusion surrounds the exact figure, with reports it could be worth even more and the Government refusing to comment.
A State Government spokesman said: “Despite what the media is reporting, we have not received a formal response from the ARLC to our offer.
“If a deal is finalised, we will be transparent about its terms, as well as the modelling it is based on,” he added.
The NRL declined to comment.
Earlier, Mr Cook said he couldn’t guarantee how many home games would be played in Perth, saying the decision would be “entirely” up to the NRL.
Asked on Friday if a “vast majority” of home games would be played in WA, Mr Cook said the “arrangements in relation to any one team — and I stress these conversations have not concluded — with regards to a Western Australian franchise, that will be run by the NRL”.
Moore said North Sydney Bears fans would be “ecstatic” to get one game at North Sydney Oval but the other 11 games would likely be at HBF Park.

Poor kennards, complete idiotic moron who can’t comprehend simple things. Uses this forum to try be smart and yet every post he just exposes himself to be the big idiot everyone knows he is.

this is why you should’ve finished school kennards, education is important and you won’t look like an idiot everytime you post

And now he reveals to the forum that he obsesses over the length of men’s dicks. Poor kennards

This is all very odd.

Why would the NRL go off so half cocked without the WA Govt endorsement?

I think you struggle with understanding quality over quantity.

PNG have produced 2/3rds of f**k all NRL quality talent, despite what you believe.

You are f**king stoned out off your head if you think they are producing more NRL players than QLD and NSW for the next 50 years

I understand your knowledge is similar to a 3yr old, so ill try and explain it like im talking to a pre schooler.

PNG players have zero pathways and zero quality coaching. U12's in NSW and QLD have had better coaching.

You use the examople of Redclife having 2 jnrs in thier NRL team, they have less than 2k jnrs. PNG have roughly 2m jnrs.

Youd have to be "f#king stoned out of your mind" to make that comparision.

All the 1m+ cities in Australia & NZ should have an NRL event each year at the big stadiums IMO.

Sydney - Grand Final, Origin, Easter games, Anzac Day, Gadhu Gathering.
Brisbane - Magic Round, Origin.
Melbourne - Origin (every 2-4 years), annual Storm MCG/Docklands game or double header. During Gather round.
Perth - Origin (every 2-4 years), annual Bears Optus game or double header.
Adelaide - Origin (every 3-6 years), annual double header at Adelaide Oval.
Auckland - Origin (every 3-6 years), annual Warriors Anzac Day game at Eden Park

Once Perth has their team, I'd like to think that Adelaide will take Perth's place with a reliable regular season game or two each season to build the game's profile there.

The NRL can't leave that up to the clubs, however.. and should get "hands on" brokering deals to get games there reliably.

Seriously are you dim witted or just slow?

Timeline for you in case ya can’t keep up

WA GOV puts in final offer to ARLC last week on Thursday before Easter.

ARLC goes away reviews offer and accepts offer internally. Wednesday.

ARLC then via NRL by the governing rules of the game need to consult the stakeholders ie clubs and rlpa about the offer that they have accepted internally. Thursday

Today is Anzac Day and public holiday.

Im sure wa gov have been communicated with informally that everything is going ahead but due to Anzac Day and weekend, the official call or email or letter hasn’t been sent to wa gov to advise them the offer is accepted and the license to Perth bears has been granted. But informally it clearly has and asking cook about how many games will be held in Perth is media trying to get him to spill beans…

seriously dude how fricken slow are ya?

They don't have 2M juniors.

Where do you get this bullshit from?

And why do you think one NRL team will suddenly change the whole countries junior development?

Isn't that basically the current schedule?

how many kids play league in PNG?Is it more than Redcliffe,The example you used as to why PNG will fail.

Why do I think 1 NRL team will change things in PNG ? Because for the first time they will receive professional coaching and pathways.

You do understand PNG players have had less coaching than a NSW suburban U12 team don’t you. ?

When jnr PNG players got placed in a pathways/coaching system they went from getting flogged by the Jnr Kangaroos to last year drawing 22-22. The PNG players didn’t even know how to catch and dance in a tackle prior to coaching.

By 2030 PNG will be top of the table. I’m happy for you to bookmark this comment and prove me wrong.

There is a couple of hundred million dollars being spent as well….. got to make some difference

now that is a big call

 

[jim_57]

Isn't that basically the current schedule?

No Storm game at MCG/Marvel, no Warriors game at Eden Park and nothing other than the occasional Origin in Adelaide.

Perth annual game at Optus to be confirmed.

They've also won the Q Cup with a team of locals and nowhere near the coaching, development or pathways that will go into the NRL team. Yeah it's a step down from the NRL, but it's a huge accomplishment.

Our friends at The West having another pop at Cook. I’d be surprised of a guaranteed 11 Perth games a year haven’t been locked in the deal?

Cook can’t say how many NRL games would be played in Perth

Premier Roger Cook can’t guarantee how many home games would be played in Perth by a WA rugby league team, saying the decision would be ‘entirely’ up to the NRL.

thewest.com.au

Why would Cook tell these bludgers anything ?

 

[Perth Red]

You'd say that is a good deal for both the NRL and WA Government, and heck, you could say even worth the prolonged negotiations by both.

Looking on Google Maps, where in Malaga will the training centre be? Is $20m enough for training facilities where I'm led to believe the West Coast Eagles cost $60m back in 2019?

Eagles contributed $35mill of their own money to theirs.
I guess if the nrl wants to chip in then it’ll be better.

There is no "junior" footy in PNG.

You're cooked if you think they are suddenly the best team in the NRL with 2 seasons of coaching

Peter Fitzsimmons in SMH today putting up an argument that the Bears should have moved to Central coast not Perth

“What’s more you’re going up against two very strong AFL teams and a Rugby Union franchise that is well dug in “…

Coming from the same guy that said RL was wasting its time with the Storm in Melbourne and the Union Super Rugby side (Rebels .. rest in peace ) would dominate it…

I don’t know if he genuinely believes this stuff or is just trolling …a lot of these other sports guys seem to think that the NRL should just stay in NSW and never have any ambition ..the guy works in sports for a Sydney newspaper but seems oblivious ( or pretends to be) to how the biggest sport he covers is actually going these days with record revenue, ratings and crowds ..
